I cannot find which year this was held, but it had to have been before 1896, which is the publication date for the book in which this image was published. The book is Afred Brehm’s Life of Animals.

“10. Persian Greyhound.[A type of mastiff]”
Eh?
Just wanted to see if you’d catch that : )
Oh, you’re very funny ;)
Interesting that it’s black. Not a proper Saluki color, you know.
Seeing as it was probably one of the few salukis in Germany at the time, I don’t think they would’ve known any better.
It can be black n tan, too.
It’s time we took down you pedigree dog haters!
Spreading lyes!
Everywhere!
Nothing but lyes!
What the hell!
You stole my picture from today, too!
Guess what?
You suck!
Well.
That’s really a great insult there.
What are you? 12.
Well. All I know is your unfair to all us good purebred dog breeders out there.
They take really good care of the dogs and the make sure they they don’t have diseases when you breed them them and we really don’t appreciate all the lyes that you and all these animal rights loses who want to band all dog ownership and all meat eating want to impose upon everyone. Next thing you know we’ll have communism.
The pekingese has a prowd noble traditions. It’s confirmation dtates back thousands of years. Thousends of years before they ever heard of those stupid retriever dogs, who all die of cancer before they are 8 years old. My last champion peke made it to the ripe old age of 17 and his COI over 10 generations was 34.6 percent. shows what you know about dogs.
You just have an axe to grind.
I hope all the golden retrievers die of cancer!
You’re so full of shit. It’s coming out your ears.
Great grammar and spelling, too.
Tell me, what was the name of your champion peke?
Like I’m going to tell you the name of my dog.
You’ll probably look it up and find it’s picture, then you’ll make fun of it because you’re a jackass who makes fun of dogs you don’t like and don’t work i bet you think border collies are the only dogs that deserve to live or be bred selectively.
typical.
We’re starting a new blog that will take you people down.
the truth will be revealed soon.
Oh boy, here we go.
Ahahahaha! ;)
I’m sorry, I just burst out laughing at Peke’s posts. He’s such a stereotype of a doofus internet troll it’s just too perfect — he can’t be for real!
He’s way too spot on to be real– he display every single classic derives. None of the show breeders are this retarded.
He does make some pretty good points. I tried to find out more at his website pedigreedogsarefine.com, but it must still be under construction.
After the initial burst of laughter, I did a search on your blog for pekingese and you have touched on that topic a number of times… Don’t know what could have caused such a hateful outburst… Some of what you wrote on the breed looks pretty interesting.
